Intro

My name is Aethio. With the recent beginning of preseason, we've seen several new fantastic jungle items, including Jak'Sho, Heartsteel, and Radiant Virtue.

We'll focus on Jak'Sho and RV. The Immortal Shyvana build prioritizes staying alive despite the odds and individual damage, while RV is more built around team assistance.

Jak'Sho gives you the ability to stay in battles for much longer. It, combined with Ravenous Hydra and SoS, give you an absurd amount of sustain with a correspondingly massive damage output. At the moment, I think it's Shyvana's best build.

Radiant Virtue is particularly powerful on Shyvana for one big reason: much of Shyvana's whole kit revolves around the use of her R into dragon form. After ulting with Radiant Virtue, you'll have 40 ability haste, heal 2% your max health every 3 seconds, and will gain 10% max health, with the benefits lasting for 9 seconds.

What's more, these benefits extend to your allies as well, giving every teammate within 1200 units % max health healing and ability haste.

This makes it an incredibly strong item for both individual fights and teamfights.

When using Spear of Shojin and Boots of Lucidity, you'll get a fantastically short cooldown on your E, allowing for a pretty fair damage output while maintaining a bruiser-esque constitution.

Pros → Good utility in teamfights → Large amount of sustain with health items → Can build into anti-tank and anti-squishy → Short cooldown on R as long as you stay alive

Cons → Hard to catch slippery enemies → R does not cool down while dead → Easily countered by anti-tank items (particularly BoRK)
